@GGG. blocking is broken in PvP and you gave us a GREEN gem to counter?

I've never played WoW and this is far from it so why even make that comparison? Apples and oranges.


This is not wow and you can certainly land hits even when spell block is used.

To counter spells it actually requires a lot more than to counter all other attacks. Why should casters be buffed but making it easier for them to get block pen?

Why should casters be better than all other builds?

Secondly if you spent more time playing and less time QQing on the forums maybe you'd have a lvl 95+ character you could keep as a dedicated PvP toon so you wouldn't waste so many chroms.

Third my pvp caster uses multiple green sockets as do many others. So please... tell us more about the hardships you have to go through to pvp....



Ok, what green slots do you use for your 6link main attack for a caster since that is the ONLY thing that matters.




Cold penetration, faster projectiles, lmp, gmp, added cold, blind, fork..


and dude you really have to think about pvp and what skills you use, for example you have 1 green slot on which you use LMP/faster proj or wahetver for your spell.

Instead of rechorming before fighting a block char, switch to a spell that doesnt require faster proj or lmp, so you can use BCR

its not that difficult...

Everyone should have access to block/evade penetration. Do you not see the nerfs block has got, and the fact that the game company actually had to release a PVP block/evade reduction gem?

Know why? Because even they acknowledge the shit is cheap and broken with no counter play.

A green gem actually makes sense here.

In this game, green is cold, evasiveness, dexterity, speed, etc. Red is fire, armor, health, strength, etc. Blue is lightning, energy shield, mana, intelligence, etc.

This falls solidly under evasiveness. It causes people to dodge and block less frequently, both of which are skills that in reality would require speed or dexterity.

If this argument somehow holds, though, and block pen became white, I'd like for IIQ and IIR gems to be white as well. Since when was red quantity and blue rarity?

And CoC to be blue, for that matter.

Guess what, my build doesnt use lmp,faster proj, gmp, or added cold.

Like I said, gut yourself for PvE, or spend an assload of money just to have a guy not be immune to all your hits/spells because of a stupid/broken PvP mechanic.


Makes sense.
"my build can't" = "broken"

Makes sense.

Apples and Jackhammers.


IIQ/IIR/ CoC is not required for a character.



Reduced block chance IS required for EVERY character just to enjoy PvP, and there is a time where lore should take the backseat to actual game enjoyability and balance.

If you're required to have a specific gem in your main attack just to be viable in PvP then that gem needs to be white.
